That one I did get sorted, I needed to put a "root" line in .amandahosts. So I set it up to do a bare metal recovery of /. But it crashed before even getting a good start. So now I have a trashed boot card, which is actually a 32Gb u-sd card about the size of a fingernail. I have the stuff here to rebuild it, or more cards. But I am convinced I've blown a gpio pin on this pi, so I just ordered two more from MCM. $35 a copy. I've been beating my head on the floor over some crappy hookup jumpers that probably caused the blown pin, so if Digi-Key or the mailman, ever gets off the pot, I'll make me up a special jumper assembly that should stop the interconnect problem that started all this, once and for all. But not going to worry about it for a day or so as its forecast to get very cold with a high wind chill thrown in between now and the weekend. I did have it working well at the end of November, till apt installed an updated kernel about 12 days back that wasn't any resemblance to a real time build and it all went to hell in a well oiled little red wagon. I think I have that sorted so that won't happen again. Thanks Deb, take care & have a happy holiday, orders from Grandpa Gene. ;-) Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
